Awakenings 2

This is the cover of my second graphic novel Awakenings 02. It has been a long slog completing this baby and I wish to thank the following people. Regina Rugge - who is always my proof reader and advisor. Mills Litho Printers in Cape Town - who always go beyond the call of duty to keep their clients smiling - you guys did an excellent job with this and the previous book. Special thanks to the National Arts Council of South Africa for their generous contribution towards the printing costs of this book.
